Free Web NovelChapter 2145: Chapter 2144: Xin Leng Arrives
The Sect Master has returned!
This news quickly spread throughout the entire Phoenix Sect.
Though it’s been only a few short years, which is hardly significant to any cultivator, the feelings between the Phoenix Sect members and Su Han are undeniable.
Of course, this refers only to those who came from the Dragon Martial Continent with Su Han.
No one can imagine what kind of existence they regard Su Han as.
In short, as long as Su Han is alive, they will always have a spiritual pillar to tread into the distance.
Speaking of yearning, perhaps the later disciples who joined the Phoenix Sect might not believe it, but ultimately, it’s the truth.
Nowadays, the Phoenix Sect continues to expand, as people like Cheng Yu are aware, the Phoenix Sect now possesses dozens of subordinate sects, with a total number of disciples exceeding three billion, and strong cultivators abound.
Compared to this massive number, the ten million Dragon Martial Continent disciples who came with Su Han to the Lower-Class Star Region really seem insignificant.
Precisely for this reason, these disciples are now positioned in high ranks, with the lowest identity being a battalion leader commanding tens of thousands of disciples.
As for the unique existence like the Five Divine Guard Corps, though there are no specific positions, it is without doubt that their status in the Phoenix Sect remains as sacred as it once was.
Because it was these few years that led the Phoenix Sect to such a state, many people had never seen Su Han in person.
It was precisely for this reason that the previous scene, where the disciples did not recognize Su Han, occurred.
In the Central Square of the Phoenix Sect residence, there stands a huge statue.
This statue stands a hundred meters tall, lifelike, with its appearance and figure very similar to Su Han.
According to the rules of the Phoenix Sect, every disciple who joins the main sect of the Phoenix Sect must first come before the statue and worship for three days before being allowed to enter the sect.
Below the statue, a huge stele stands, inscribed with small characters detailing the legends Su Han created on the Dragon Martial Continent.
In this way, it ensures that these disciples remember profoundly.
It was precisely for this reason that Ling Xiao was enraged when those disciples did not recognize Su Han.
The intention of the Phoenix Sect is to imbue every disciple’s heart with the place Su Han holds.
To put it bluntly, there’s a bit of brainwashing included.
However, those disciples still did not recognize Su Han; what does this indicate?
To exaggerate a bit, it means they simply didn’t hold Su Han in regard and thus did not care, so they didn’t know him!
Otherwise, after worshiping before the statue for three days, each person should recognize Su Han.
At the very least, this statue resembles him far more than a portrait.
...
In the council hall, Su Han sat at the main seat, smiling as he looked at the multitude of figures below him.
Liuyun is here, Hong Chen is here, Hong Yu is here, Ling Xiao is here, Shen Li is here as well...
Familiar faces and unfamiliar ones all appeared within the hall.
Those who could be present here were undoubtedly high-ranking individuals within the Phoenix Sect at this moment.
Xiao Yuhui, Xiao Yuran, Yun Qianqian, Nangong Yu, the four of them, sat on either side of Su Han.
Su Qing and Su Yao had also emerged from the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, standing behind Su Han, their faces full of joy.
At this moment, although they were both over a hundred years old, they still maintained youthful appearances.
Before Su Han, they still... were just children.
Su Yunming sat in the first position below, opposite him sat the Eastern Ancestor and Northern Ancestor.
Just from this seating arrangement, one could discern their status and position.
There’s no need to elaborate on the Eastern Ancestor and Northern Ancestor, as they accepted Su Han as a disciple on the Dragon Martial Continent and numerous times helped Su Han through crises.
In terms of titles, even ’Supreme Sect Master’ wouldn’t be inappropriate.
Meanwhile, Su Yunming, though his cultivation base, even now, after stacking many resources, remains at the Dragon Emperor Realm and hasn’t even reached the Dragon Venerate Realm.
Nevertheless, just the fact that he is Su Han’s father is enough!
...
Inside the hall, it was extremely quiet.
Many gazes were fixed on Su Han, waiting for him to speak.
Among them, there were many unfamiliar faces, who had been watching him ever since they saw Su Han.
These individuals were the sect masters, and even deputy sect master-level figures, of the Phoenix Sect’s subordinate sects.
To be able to sit here, they would have to be at least Sixth Grade Divine Sea Realm, Seventh Grade Divine Sea Realm, or even half a step into the Fusion Realm.
They immediately detected Su Han’s cultivation base — Second Grade Divine Sea Realm!
Upon seeing the respect and fervor in the eyes of Ling Xiao and others, it was clearly genuine, not a guise.
Considering the Phoenix Sect’s constant portrayal of the ’Sect Master,’ it had reached a level of extreme zeal.
In the heart of every Phoenix Sect disciple, the Sect Master is the heavens!
Before Su Han appeared, they always speculated what kind of figure the Phoenix Sect Leader was.
At this moment, Su Han appeared, and they... were disappointed.
It was merely the Second Grade Divine Sea Realm.
With such a cultivation base, what virtue and capability could make the Phoenix Sect members worship so intensely?
Why would pinnacle-level powerhouses like Ling Xiao and Shen Li be so fervently devoted to him?
What methods did he possess to expand the Phoenix Sect to its current scale?
Many were puzzled but dared not question much.
Not even mentioning Su Han being of Second Grade Divine Sea Realm, even if he were just a First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm, with so many formidable subordinates, nobody dared to doubt him!
While these people were gauging Su Han, Su Han was also observing them.
Through their eyes, Su Han didn’t perceive much, but he could surmise what kind of thoughts they held within.
At a certain moment, his gaze shifted and landed on a young man on the left holding a longsword and clad in a light gray gown.
"Xin Leng."
Su Han smiled and spoke, "When did you arrive?"
"Half a year ago."
Xin Leng immediately stood up and cupped his fists toward Su Han, then replied, "After handling those matters, I made my way to the Phoenix Sect, although the journey delayed me somewhat."
"No matter."
Su Han waved his hand, "For a Sword Dao genius like you to join the Phoenix Sect is an honor for the sect. Even if you hadn’t arrived yet, the sect could wait for you for ten thousand years!"
Upon hearing this, many eyes shone brightly as they looked toward Xin Leng.
Two years ago, Xin Leng arrived with a handwritten edict from Su Han.
He was quiet and focused solely on the Sword Dao, not very good with words.
His personality was also low-key, not inclined to flaunt.
Due to this, his talent, status, and the like were largely unknown to the Phoenix Sect members.
But Su Han’s words at this moment were clearly a very definite affirmation of Xin Leng, in front of the entire Phoenix Sect.
This made people like Liuyun instantly realize that this man whom they had mostly ignored...
Was perhaps an influential figure indeed!
